When lauching cellwriter the icon should appear on the panel. Using Unity it doesn't appear.

Same for unity2d in oneric. I don't know that much about it but I think that unity isn't the same as gnome, so I suspect that the cell writer icon works as a gnome panel icon and unity doesn't support these things. It'd be nice if it did though.

Unfortunately the bug stills there in Ubuntu 11.10. The integration of Cellwriter (which, in my opinion, is basic for touchscreens) is poorly supported in Unity 3D.
